[COMPLETED]
Quinn, an orphan who then got adopted by Torres Family, had always believed she encountered the harsh reality that young. She kept her pain hidden and tried to stay awake by singing and creating songs. Then she met Yael, a VJ student and...

He stared at me, making me uncomfortable. Lalo na nung tumuwid siya ng tayo at dahan-dahang naglakad papalapit sa akin. His both hands in his pockets habang nakukunot pa rin ang noo niya. I scratched the back of my head and smiled awkwardly, hoping it might lessen the tense, which is currently... obviously, happening right now.
"S-sorry. I was just checking things out. I didn't touch anything—" he raised his brow again."Fine. Isa lang—" he tilted his head. I can't help but grumbled. "Oo na. Halos lahat."
"Didn't you saw the sign at the door? Can you read? If not, it says 'Only VJs allowed.'"
What did he say? Tumaas ata ang lahat ng dugo papunta sa ulo ko. I was smiling at him, but gritting my teeth. Unang-una, hindi ko nabasa ang sign. Pangalawa, marunong akong magbasa!
I saw the side of his lip raised a little bit pero agad iyon nawala at napalitan na namang ng tingin na parang may ninakaw ako. Huminga ako ng malalim at humalukipkip.
Could he be working here? Kung oo, of course, pupunta siya dito dahil malapit na lunchtime. Students will like great music while they're eating. Narinig kong huminga siya ng malalim at nilagpasan ako. Binaba ko na lang kamay ko at ngumuso. Padabog akong naglakad hanggang sa makarating ako sa pintuan sabay lumingon sa kanya at pinanlilisikan ng mata.
"Aalis na ako."
"Tinatanong ko ba?"
His lips formed a wide grin and tilted his again. Then, he waved once with his hand. Nanlaki ang mata ko sa ginawa niya. He was like some sort of a doll in horror movies, so I instantly held the doorknob and slammed it close. The sound filled the entire room, but I didn't even care.
Who would fucking do that?!
Mabilis akong nakalabas sa Adventunes. Ni hindi ko ito tinapunan ng panghuling tingin at agad na naglakad papalayo pero napatigil din naman kaagad nang tumunog ang tiyan ko. Yeah, right. Gutom nga pala ako. Saktong may dumaan na babae kaya nagpatulong ako sa kanya at nagpaturo kung saan ang daan ng canteen. Luckily, she's on her way to the canteen too kaya sumama na lang ako.
Hindi nagtagal ay nakarating kami. I frowned when I saw a lot of students lining up. Huminga ako ng malalim.
Kung hindi lang sana ako naligaw, hindi pumunta sa Adventunes (which clearly I don't regret) at hindi nakita ang lalaking 'yon (this I regret), edi sana hindi ako naabutan ng maraming tao. Edi sana matagal na akong nakaupo ngayon sa table habang kumakain.
Tatalikod na sana ako nang makita ko si Analie na nakapila at malapit ng makabili. I urged myself not to ask her to add mine because I couldn't bear having the thought that I owe her one pero gutom na gutom na gutom na talaga ako.
I stared at her as she took another step closer. Suddenly, she accidentally looked in my way that made me looked up. Para akong tanga pero hinayaan ko lang 'yon at nanatiling nakatingin sa taas kahit puro kalangitan lang naman ang nakikita ko. My hands were at my back, and my feet are crossed.
